Who is prone to milium

Milium may occur in the following patients:

• With increased secretion of sebum and its increased viscosity due to a decrease in the amount of linoleic acid and an increase in the level of stearic acid (this contributes to intense keratinization, i.e. hyperkeratosis in the hair follicle, its blockage with a mixture of thick sebum and horny masses with the formation of comedones.
• Thick seborrhea is also characterized by the appearance of deep cysts of the sebaceous glands – atheromas and acne vulgaris.
